Excerpt from New Adventures of "Alice" Written and Pictured Betsy must have been thinking of Alice and making up for herself more Adventures and wishing there were another book all the time she was getting undressed and brushing her nice little white teeth, for when she said her prayers she added, And please send me another book about Alice. She had hardly got comfortably snuggled and settled into the pillow and kissed Mother and called Good night to Dick, the canary (who answered with a sleepy little thrill), when she found herself up in the attic looking for things to dress up in.

ルイス・キャロルが遺した世界への切望から生まれた本作は、読者の祈りが物語を創り出すというメタフィクション的魔法の結晶です。主人公ベッツィの「続きを読みたい」という純粋な渇望が幻想の扉を開く構成は、物語を愛する魂への救済であり、読書体験の本質を鋭く突いています。 ジョン・レアは、日常の屋根裏から未知の冒険へと飛翔する少女の無垢な感性を、抒情豊かな筆致で描き出しました。失われゆく子供時代の輝きと、想像力が孤独を癒やす普遍的なテーマが、キャロルへの敬意と共に独自の煌めきを放つ、真に愛すべきファンタジーの傑作です。
